The audience in the stands cheered, celebrating the birth of the new champion.

The most excited, of course, were Shen Sui's spectators. After all, Shen Sui's performance in these two duels was so magnificent, displaying an aura of vanquishing gods and demons alike.

It was obvious to those with sharp eyes that Bai Ye's role in this match was nothing more than decorative.

One could even say that, at least from the duel's perspective, Shen Sui fought as if it were one against two.

"So, what was my purpose?" Bai Ye was still in a daze as he walked off stage with the trophy in hand.

Did they just win like that?

I thought the duel would be a bit more intense.

Shen Sui, walking beside Bai Ye, thought for a moment and finally said affirmatively, "Without you, this match wouldn't have started."

Hearing this, Bai Ye replied helplessly, "Even if it's true, could you put it more tactfully?"

"You've already admitted it's true."

Bai Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I really didn't expect you guys to go all out in the All-Star tournament," Tan Song said as he looked at Shen Sui and An Hai in the lounge.

Both of them unexpectedly used Life Cards in the final match that they had never used in previous matches.

Shen Sui was understandable since he had many Life Cards, so pulling out one or two new ones wasn't a big effort.

But the cards An Hai used were heavyweight new cards.

It seems that in An Hai's eyes, defeating Shen Sui was more important than keeping his new cards hidden for future matches.

"Of course, you'd show a bit of your trump cards," Shen Sui commented, "but not to the extent of showing them all."

"Stop trying to show off your 'Versailles' talk," Tan Song immediately understood Shen Sui's words. "In this world, only someone as weird as you could do that."

The All-Star tournament officially ended, and a new year had arrived.

It was also time for everyone to part ways.

Shen Sui was going to take Vivian to the eastern port to await the arrival of the Saint Yimiti.

While An Hai and Tan Song would stay in Jing City, preparing to participate in the upcoming A-class event there.

Even though Ji Bubai was also a ninth-level Life Card Master, he didn't plan to participate in Jing City's competition. Instead, he intended to head south, "The north is too cold, and if I have to leave the house to compete, I'd rather take a vacation and return for the competitions next spring."

Shen Sui thought of his shipgirls and before leaving, he got Ji Bubai's Soul Card to see if he could catch a whiff of something to help him locate World No. 33.

Actually, Vivian surely knew the location, but Shen Sui felt guilty about Vivian, and he was embarrassed to ask her about finding another woman's affairs.

Besides, given the current severe Soul Card invasion, finding a Life Card Master invaded by Soul Cards from World No. 33 wasn't difficult, so Shen Sui didn't want to cause Vivian any grief.

The next day, the All-Star tournament hype was far from over.

Even though it was an entertainment match, the duels showcased a lot of high-quality battles, which, during these nerve-wracking times of Extraordinary Invasion, at least proved the Life Card Masters' abilities to protect everyone.

Also due to the Extraordinary Invasion, even people who rarely participated in Life Card Duel discussions before joined the large discussions, making this year's All-Star tournament the most popular one ever.

As someone who swept all three modes at the All-Star tournament, Shen Sui unsurprisingly became the topic's center.

Many who hadn't paid much attention before started to feel hopeful after seeing Shen Sui's performance, "I initially thought with the invasion of the Extraordinary powers from the Soul Card World, we were doomed. But after witnessing the God of Age's performance today, I feel hopeful again. If every Life Card Master was as strong as the God of Age, what would we have to fear from Extraordinary Invasion?"

"Uh… is it possible that not every Life Card Master can become the God of Age?"

Compared to most people who relaxed or vented their unease about the Extraordinary Invasion this way, far fewer netizens seriously discussed and analyzed the duels at the All-Star tournament; their voices were completely drowned out by these laymen.

Shen Sui originally wanted to see how the experts online evaluated his duels.

Although what they said might not be entirely correct, Shen Sui believed that if there were enough comments, he could still find ideas to further improve his deck.

After browsing a few pages, Shen Sui boredly put down his phone and picked up the Dueling Device beside him.

Jing City wasn't too far from the port where the Saint Yimiti would dock, so Shen Sui just hitchhiked with Xinyuan Yingxue.

Xinyuan Yingxue didn't mind helping out; she just happened to have a competition to attend in Jinmen City along the way.

"Hmm? There's a B-class tournament happening recently?" Shen Sui actually had no idea about this.

"Sister didn't think it necessary to tell you," Xinyuan Yingxue said while driving, "First, there was the All-Star tournament, and then there's the Pacific Cruise Race. Moreover, you've already earned enough points, so there's no need to participate in such competitions."

"What do you mean, 'no need'? Prize money and such are also important."

"Then you're bound to be disappointed. The competition in Jinmen City is notorious for low prizes but high points," Xinyuan Yingxue said. "Mother specifically appreciated the high points, which is why she arranged for me to participate."
